Even if using a receiver with the BATTERY FAIL SAFE function, it may not operate correctly. Therefore always check the battery voltage and charge the battery quickly.
When using 5 or more servos for large scale models, use a separate power
supply. An S .BUS Hub with Cable (2-way/remote battery pack use) sold separately
can be utilized for using a separate power supply in the S.BUS system.

This servo can be connected to a PC by using the CIU-2 USB Adapter sold
separately and its various operating characteristics can be changed as a programmable servo by means of dedicated software 6/LQN. 6/LQN is downloadable from a Futaba WEB site. However, channel setting and other operating characteristics settings cannot be made with the existing S.BUS PCLink
software. When you use a transmitter with an S.BUS setting function. By connecting a servo to the S.BUS setting connector of the transmitter, a program
setup of a servo can be performed on the screen of a transmitter. This servo
does not have stop mode function. Therefore becomes as [ hold ] when the input
signal of a servo stops. Depending on a setup, a servo carries out vibration. If a
servo continues carrying out vibration, it will break, please restore a setup.

Different from conventional radio control systems the S.BUS
system uses data communication to transmit control signals from
a receiver to a servo, gyro, or other S.BUS compatible device. This
data includes commands such as “move the channel 3 servo to
15 degrees, move the channel 5 servo to 30 degrees” to multiple
devices. The S.BUS devices execute only those commands for their
own set channel. For this reason, it can be used by connecting
multiple servos to the same signal line. Many S.BUS servos is
in the connected state, one servo of them can be set it up. The ID
code of each servo is used for it. ID code is indicated on the seal
of the case. After carrying in a model, it is convenient, if you use
attached ID seal and CH seal when ID cannot be seen.
